HI PC,
Unfortunately member Blumbly finished up on here quite some time ago and as such left many threads incomplete and hanging.
That's sad for many newer members that have a strong interest in Victa's as that's pretty much what he specialised in. He was a big fan of the VC era machines and had many restored and non restored examples stacked on a custom made rack which is pictured here somewhere on this vast forum.
So in finishing I guess my advice is for you to not hold your breath for an outcome on this one as it just aint going to happen.
Cheers,
BB.
